(Note: I stopped upgrading at version 716 due to intermittent corruption of INI files in subsequent versions, affecting: FreeCommander.ini on three different systems, and FreeCommander.hist.ini on two different systems.)

Can someone else at least check their backups directory to verify that FC is performing a backup every day, and that FC prunes old backups per the number you have set under Settings > General > Auto backup.

Sorry but currently we are at version 762
Why should one test anything on old version.

It doesn't matter what version you're using if the bug was never fixed - it would just get carried forward in each subsequent version...
I've already tried upgrading to newer versions. And I read the change log for every version that comes out, but there's been no mention of this bug.

So that's a confirmation of the bug - it's clear from your screen shot that FC is not performing a daily backup.

No, you are wrong - I just start FC from time to time.

Then why are you responding to this thread if it doesn't affect you?
You should have said up front that you only use it intermittently, instead of providing a screen shot and leaving it open to interpretation...

The problem may be - you never shut down the program.
Currently only on program start will be checked if backup is needed.

Yes, then that's the problem. Because I don't shut down FC if I have no reason to.
And I believe it's fair to say that I shouldn't have expected that I'd have to restart the program to kick off a backup.
So is that something you'd consider addressing in a future version?

Also, what is causing FC to disregard the max backup count I have set?
